Yoshio, Tamiko, and one of their neighbors were invited too. When we got there, everything was set up, for the neighbor girl (I do not know how to spell her name but I think it is Leahley)\u00a0to teach us how to make takoyaki, octopus cooked in a batter and cheese ball. I considered being apprehensive, but then I realized that I was in Japan, and travel is all about adventure. Luckily, the octopus balls were delicious, and very fun to make! First, we oiled the pan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamhadjes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_12651_resized.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1114\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teamhadjes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_12651_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamhadjes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_12651_resized.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.teamhadjes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_12651_resized-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.teamhadjes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_12651_resized-750x1000.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then we ladled in the batter, which Nozomi&#8217;s\u00a0mother had prepared in advance.
